John Bennet Lawes, a pioneer of science, farming and industry, and Joseph Henry Gilbert collaborated for more than fifty years as they built the Lawes's estate of Rothamsted into a world-famous institution of agricultural chemistry. In 1834 Lawes inherited the manor and estate of Rothamsted after studying at Eton and Oxford without taking a degree. Lawes used what he learned from agricultural experiments to produce "super-phosphate" and other products by which he became quite rich. In 1889 Lawes put Rothamsted under the control of the Lawes Agricultural Trust, with an endowment of £100,000, so that its work would not cease with his death. "In 1843 he started on a regular basis the Rothamsted agricultural experiment station; and in June of that year called to his aid, as coadjutor and technical adviser, Dr. (afterwards Sir) Joseph Henry Gilbert. Together Lawes and Dr. Gilbert instituted and carried out a vast number of experiments of enormous benefit to the agricultural community at large, the details of which were recorded in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society,' the Journals of the Chemical Society and of the Royal Agricultural Society, and other publications. Two main lines of inquiry were followed - the one relating to plants, the other to animals. In the former case the method of procedure is described in the official 'Memoranda' in which it was shown how endeavours had been made 'to grow some of the most important crops of rotation, each separately, year after year, for many years in succession on the same land, without manure, with farmyard manure, and with a great variety of chemical manures, the same description of manure being as a rule applied year after year on the same plot. Experiments on an actual course of rotation without manure and with different manures were also made: 'wheat, barley, oats, beans, clover and other leguminous plants, turnips, sugar beet, mangels, potatoes, and grass crops having been thus experimented on. The main object of the experiments on animals (commenced in 1847) was to ascertain how they could be most economically fed for human consumption ; but incidentally information of great value was obtained towards the solution of such problems as the sources in the food consumed of the fat produced in the animal body, the characteristic demands of the animal body (for nitrogenous or non-nitrogenous constituents of food), in the exercise of muscular power, and the comparative characters of animal and vegetable food in human dietaries."

See the entries on the two men in the Oxford DNB. In an impressive description of their joint achievements, the entry on Gilbert describes his association with Lawes as 'one of the longest and most productive scientific partnerships on record [.] In agricultural circles their names are for ever linked'. The first two items are in uniform light-blue printed card covers; the last is of similar appearance, in printed card covers of the same colour. In good condition, lightly aged. The first two items (joint works by the two men) were formerly glued together, and their separation has caused minor damage to the covers. The first item (by Lawes alone) is presented by the authors, and the recipient was clearly knowledgeable in the field, as the first and last carry detailed annotations in pencil, with further notes on a separate leaf loosely inserted in the first. The authors are named on the titles as 'J. B. Lawes, F.R.S., F.C.S.' and 'J. H. Gilbert, Ph.D., F.R.S., F.C.S.' ONE: [By both men.] 'Report of Experiments on the Growth of Wheat for Twenty Years in succession on the same Land.' Offprint: 'From the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, Vol. XXIV. Parts I. & II.' 109 + xli pp, 8vo. In manuscript at head of front cover: 'With compliments, from the Authors. Appendix of 26 tables, one a fold-out. Another fold-out table, in colours, in body of text. six of the final pages of which carry knowledgeable annotations in pencil in the margins, with another 12mo page of notes on a loosely-inserted leaf. TWO: [By both men.] 'The Effect of Different Manures on the Mixed Herbage of Grass-Land.' Offprint: 'From the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, Vol. XXIV., Part I.' 36pp, plus one fold-out plate at end. THREE: [By Lawes alone.] 'On the Chemistry of the Feeding of Animals for the Production of Meat and Manure.' 'Read before the Royal Dublin Society, Thursday Evening, March 31, 1864.' 21pp, 8vo. Nine pages with pencil annotations in the same hand as those in Item One. No copies of any of the three items at the British Library. All three now scarce. Seven holdings listed of the first item on COPAC, only one (Lawes' own copy at Rothamstead Research) of the second; and three of the third (one at Rothamstead).…
